IMPROVED VEGETABLE-SLIGER.

` TO VALI.. WHOXI IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known thatI, IIERRMANNL'IEBMNN, of Mascoutah, in the county of Saint Clair, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improved Vegetable-Slicer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- ,Figure 1 represents un elevation of my invention 'with a portion of the frame removed.

Figure 2 represents a top View of the revolving disk.

Figure 3 represents an end vieu of the vertical knife-frame, showing one of the blades.

Similar letters indicate like parts.

My invention is designed to produce a lmachine which shall rapidly slice vegetables of all kinds, be easily ivorked, ando? simple n ni'l cheap construction.- It consists ct' a circular disk, A., figs. l and 2, having upon its upper surface two or more lateral knives, b b', iig. 2, with their edges'raised slightly from thc surface ofthe disk, and two ormorc sets of vertical -knives'c e', figs. 1 and 2, nt right angles to the disk.V With the disk 'is t connected an upright ilriviiigslmfit, D, fig. l, which, at its extremity, c, fig. 1, makes a bevelled gear with the wheel II, iig. l, whose axis is :it right angles with thc shaft D. A crank, K, attached to the axis of the wheel II, sets the whole in motion. A trough, M, fig. 1,l is placed around the front of the machine, and is fastened to the solidsupport O rof' the wheel H'. The whole rests upon an open frame, P, fig. l. supported upon legs, tivo ct' which are shown at s s, iig. 1. i i

The trough being filled with vegetables and the disk put in motion, thc vertical knives e e cut the same vertically, while the lateral knives, following at each revolution, cut a thin slice from the vegetables already cut vertically, which passes between the blade and the disk down into the vessel ready to receive it. When it is desired to merely` slice thc vegetables the vertical knife-f`rames may be removed by unsercwing the same from thc disk. l

-The advantages of my invention consist in so combining a vertical and horizontal cutting of the vegetables as to insure their complete reduction te small pieces.

I do not claim to be the 4first inventor of a vegetable-Slicer combining vertical and lateral knives, nor ci' the use of a revolving disk,'but what I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A \'egetahle-slieer, havingr fixed lateral' knives, and vertical knives that may be removed, attached to a revolving horizontal disk, when constructed and arranged substantially as shown and specified.
